Chapter 275 Protector of the Western Regions!
Chapter 275: Protector General of the Western Regions!
"You lowly barbarian, are you worthy enough to call me your royal brother?!!"
The Emperor's Sword had been pulled out at this time.
This was probably the most courageous moment in Liu Xie's life.
Just because this little Hun below actually called him the emperor brother...
This hostage Liu Yuan could not understand what was happening at all.
Liu Yuan had thought before that if he called the emperor "royal brother", he should be praised and commended. He thought that the emperor would be very happy and give him some rewards.
How could this happen?
"I, I shouted, was I wrong?" Liu Yuan was just a child after all at this time, and his face turned pale with fear.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the hall finally reacted from their previous shock. Kong Ming, who had been hiding, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to destroy the right wing of the Xiongnu and the entire tribe of Liu Bao, the Left Wise King!"
Someone followed up: "I second the motion!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second this motion!"
"I second the motion!!"
A huge crowd of ministers came up.
Because the words of this Xiongnu hostage were too serious. Not only did they offend the Emperor Liu Xie, but they also offended the entire Han Dynasty, and even trampled on all the civil and military officials in the court.
Brother Huang,
That's not something that anyone can call...
Besides, you are a Hun...
"Liu Yuan, who told you to call the emperor "brother"? " Cao Cao's face was also solemn. Although when he first heard the word "brother", he subconsciously thought of Liu Wu.
It feels like Liu Yuan is really slapping Liu Wu in the face.
But later he realized that he should not gloat over other people's misfortune, because this went against the political correctness of the Han Dynasty, and this sentence offended the emperor, court officials, royal family, and even the people of the Han Dynasty.
A Hun calling the Han emperor "Brother" was an insult to the entire Han Dynasty and no one could accept it.
Cao Cao spoke up: "Tell me, who taught your brother?"
Liu Yuan shook his head: "No one taught me, I just heard that King Liu Wu of Chu is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and is also called the emperor's brother, and is highly regarded by the emperor."
"I am also a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and my surname is also Liu. I think Liu Wu can be called Liu Yuan, and so can I..."
"How dare you!" Liu Xie was furious, because Liu Yuan had completely broken his defense. He laughed in anger: "What a joke! If what you said is true, your father, Liu Bao, the Left Wise King, shouldn't I respect him as my uncle?!"
Liu Yuan answered honestly: "Liu Wu's father, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, Your Majesty also respects him as the emperor's uncle?"
"Shut up!" Kong Ming held back, and Zhuge Liang also broke down: "Uncle Liu and even the descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, the descendants of the Han Dynasty, have confronted the Huangshi family tree in the Chengguang Hall!"
"The King of Chu was originally the son of Uncle Liu, and was later adopted by His Majesty as the direct descendant of the Han Dynasty! How dare you, the barbarians... You really don't know how to live or die!"
"King Wei!"
"They are riding on the heads of the King of Chu, the Emperor, and the Han Dynasty and are acting wildly. Is this how you govern the five tribes of the Xiongnu?!"
Cao Cao was a little stunned by Kong Ming's retort and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
However, Kong Ming immediately said: "The Han Dynasty has been humiliated, the emperor is angry, the master insults the minister to death, the King of Wei is guilty and deserves death!!"
It was not until this time that Cao Cao finally reacted. He smiled faintly and walked towards Liu Yuan...
If he wanted to die, no one in the entire Xuchang city could do it.
There is only one person in the whole world who can do this.
And that person is now in Liangzhou, thousands of miles away.
But we still have to save our face...
Liu Yuan must be kept, because the five Huns are Cao Mengde's dogs. If Liu Yuan, this dog, commits a crime, he must be saved.
"Your Majesty, children's words are not to be feared, and what Liu Yuan said is not groundless."
"And this Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao, Liu Yuan's surname is Liu, and he is indeed of the Liu family. Moreover, their surname Liu is indeed derived from the Han Dynasty..." "In the past, during the time of Emperor Gaozu, the Xiongnu was powerful and China had a lot of things to rebuild. So there was the siege of Mount Baideng. After that, the Han Dynasty maintained peace with the Xiongnu through the policy of marriage."
"Emperor Gaozu once married a princess to Maodun, the Khan of the Xiongnu. Liu Bao's ancestors were from the line of Han princesses. According to the tradition of Xiongnu nobles taking their mother's surname, Liu Bao's surname is naturally Liu..."
Cao Cao spoke eloquently, pouring out everything he had heard in the court.
Hearing this, the entire court was surprised...
Liu Yuan was even more excited: "Yes, yes! The Han people take their father's surname, and we Xiongnu people take our mother's surname..., Emperor..."
Before Liu Yuan could even call out the word "brother", Liu Xie had already pushed aside the crown tassels and stared at him: "For the time being, considering that you are young and have the blood of a Han princess, I will not punish you..."
"Please King Wei take him back and teach him the scriptures and etiquette, so that he won't cause such trouble again."
After half a stick of incense,
The meeting is over.
All officials withdrew from the court...
"Prime Minister Zhuge was too impulsive today. Just remember in the future, don't yell at me again. Today the emperor has drawn his sword. You must know that I will not bow or say hello when I enter the palace, and I will also carry a sword when I enter the court." Cao Cao's cold voice made the civil and military officials who followed him out of the court feel cold all over.
Kong Ming was not easily frightened: "King Wei should first think about how to discipline Liu Yuan and how to explain this to the King of Chu."
"I heard that when the King of Chu was pacifying Liangzhou, Liu Bao, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, led an army and was defeated by the King of Chu."
"The King of Chu is the only one in the world who calls the Emperor his Royal Brother. Who in the world doesn't know that the five Xiongnu tribes are the loyal dogs of the King of Wei? Now the son of the Zuoxian King also calls the Emperor his Royal Brother. Even if the Emperor can tolerate this, the King of Chu will not tolerate it..."
After saying that, Kong Ming took out a feather fan from his arms, shook it twice, and looked at Cao Cao meaningfully.
Cao Mengde realized something at this time, and he said nothing more and changed the subject: "I can't think of anyone to teach Liu Yuan. Does Prime Minister Zhuge have a candidate?"
Kong Ming stopped and said, "The Prime Minister's Chief Clerk Sima Zhongda is clumsy and can't even take care of my four-wheeled cart. He made Kong Ming late for the banquet at Yang's Mansion yesterday. King Wei should transfer him away."
After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Cao Mengde smiled but said nothing.
It seems that Zhuge Kongming is not willing to get along with that eagle-eyed and wolf-like guy...
Well, let him be Liu Yuan's teacher.
The civil and military officials walked all the way out of the imperial city. When they were about to wait for their respective cars, Cao Mengde suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Kong Ming, "Prime Minister Zhuge!"
"Today, the fake brother Liu Yuan has appeared. Hasn't the real brother Liu Wu already pacified Liang Province? Why haven't we heard about his return yet?"
"What is the King of Chu doing?"
……
……
"It's seven thousand three hundred miles to Chang'an."
"Four thousand households..."
"Thirty-two thousand one hundred..."
"Six thousand victorious soldiers."
"Wang Zhiyuanqu City,"
"Yanqi Kingdom..."
In the midst of the yellow sand, camel caravans were endless. Liu Wu led the central army, 15,000 people, marching westward. After defeating the Cheshi Kingdom, they finally entered the territory of Yanqi Kingdom.
The translator also recited in Chen: "The country is 400 li southwest of the Protectorate, 100 li south of Yuli, and borders Wusun in the north. There are many fish in the water near the coast."
"The people of the country all follow Buddhism, fast and practice the Way. The climate is cold, the soil is fertile, the crops include rice, millet, beans and wheat, and the livestock include camels and horses."
"Raising silkworms does not produce silk, but only discards cotton wool."
"The locals like to drink wine and love music. It is more than ten miles south of the sea, where fish, salt, and cattails are abundant. It is nine hundred miles east of Gaochang; nine hundred miles west of Qiuci, all of which are sand dunes; and it is two thousand two hundred miles southeast of Guazhou. ..."
"Don't read anymore." Liu Wu interrupted the translator's recitation, waved his hand and pointed forward. The outline of a city could be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Yuanqu City is ahead, all troops speed up!"
"Conquer this country, and then we will reach the old Protectorate, Wulei City!"
